Xerox copiers were around in the 60s, though expensive. (I couldn't
afford them for my PhD thesis written in 1966). There was also a dry
photographic copying process, since defunct, which used continuous
rolls, which may be the one used. Something like the special paper faxes
that are still around. You can tell if it was this, since if you leave
it out in the light, all the music will fade to invisibility <grin>.

Ah! This is well before publication, notice. And you would expect
Mazzeo to comment on the C#s himself, wouldn't you, when the piece was
first published? Who might have studied this with Mazzeo at around that
time, or earlier, presumably from a copy of his copy?

(By the way, in the hope that someone may find a lead, I'm sending this
to the Klarinet list; I hope you don't mind...)

Anyone?

I just now did another websearch, and found that there are 2 copies of
the clarinet sonata in the UCLA Music Library Special Collections,
Collection 117, Box 7 folder 5. Perhaps this may help?
